Darth Momin

Darth Momin's History

Darth Momin, also known simply as Momin, was a male Sith Lord, dark side scholar, and sculptor. At a young age, his artwork got him imprisoned by those who found it disturbing and repulsive for the very materials he had employed. A Sith Lady named Darth Shaa freed him, claiming Momin as her Sith apprentice and trained him in the dark side of the Force. However, feeling he was second to none and that calling oneself "Master" was anathema to the dark side, Momin killed Shaa and began exploring its lore on his own. He eventually built a superweapon capable of destroying an entire city, but his deepest desire was to freeze people in time during their moment of terror. As the Jedi intervened during Momin's attempt, he lost control of the energy he wielded and his physical body was destroyed, leaving only his mask with his consciousness inside.

Many years later, Darth Sidious recovered Momin's mask from the Jedi Archive vault. After learning of Momin's story from the mask, Sidious gave it to his Sith apprentice Darth Vader as a gift for his journey to Mustafar, which Vader sought to make his personal stronghold. There, the mask killed Vader's Chief Imperial Architect, Colonel Alva Brenne, and possessed her aide, Lieutenant Roggo. As Vader examined the mask, it told him of Momin's past. Vader then allowed it to possess a Mustafarian and grant Momin's consciousness a body. Vader discussed a creation Momin had designed, and agreed to let him build it for him.

Momin, with the help of Imperial resources supplied by Vader, began designing a fortress that could tune the energies of the dark side locus on Mustafar and open the door to the dark side of the Force. While Momin's fortresses were repeatedly destroyed by the incredibly harsh natural conditions on the planet, the ninth design was successful. Shortly after the fortress was finally finished, whilst Vader was distracted by an invasion of Mustafarians, Momin undermined him and opened the door to the dark side. He used it to resurrect his physical body. Vader soon returned to the fortress and used it to obliterate the Mustafarian attackers. Momin then confronted him and, after a short duel, Vader used the Force to ram him with a rock. Momin was crushed against the wall and died.

Years later, Momin's mask was on the Imperial yacht Imperialis. During the ship's infiltration, the mask corrupted two infiltrators and the others were forced to abandon and destroy the Imperialis.
